said that similar cases were pend-

"The key case." said Mr. Cobb
Is that of Mrs. Helen Curtis who
it would have the practical effect
of nullifying the victory won In the
Louisville case.
"Colored people throughout the
United States therefore have every
reason to be vitally interested In '
thla matter. . Every Colored proper-
ty owner or potential property and
home owner In America will be af-
fected by this decision whether he
is a man of wealth or a man of
modest moans. For if this segrega-

mean more crowding In Colored res-

of Colored tennants. greater disre- .

"What Is Involved is the ques-

In connection with the above .an-

at least 15.000 would be needed to
fight the case to a conclusion.
We spent upwards of 115000 to

terms of that decision no munici-

cases was a blow against peonage.
